Friday night lights

I'm happy to announce an increase by at least two homes, of Flamingo Lights this year.
Yea! Keep it up! Want to see some Christmas lights?? We LOVE lights around here. This particular yard had quite a menagerie. Giraffe, bear, dinosaur, igloo with penquin, and more.

They also had a cow, causing me to ponder if I should knock on the door, and meet a person who invests in both flamingo and cow lights.

Of course the cow had a bit too much of the Christmas spirits. Nothing sadder than a drunk cow.

Cole has shown interest in large animal lights like deer. This one didn't phase him. I had to bribe him with treats to get him to walk up and pose.

Doesn't smell like much to me...

This house had two dogs lit up, and this one looked particularly Poodle-ish.

Again, Cole wasn't interested...

(Cole: oy! mommy has stopped again. She keeps stopping when there is absolutely nothing worth sniffing or chasing, and pointing the camera.
If I could only train her to stop when I tell her to)

Uh oh!
Snowman down! Snowman down!

Another senseless killing due to global warming. Wasn't it just yesterday we had a snowfall?? Life goes by so quickly, then one day your carrot nose falls off and it's downhill after that.

I liked this tree. Small, twiggy and bare, but wearing the best in ornaments for the season. One must update their wardrobe each season, you know.
So while we were walking in this neighborhood one early evening, we hear sirens. Not your grandmother's sirens, a LOT of them and increasingly close by... We three began to nervously look around. Then the natives of the neighborhood began to run amok. Kids swarming. And here came about 8 (!) emergency vehicles including a fire engine with santa and the missus on it!! Throwing candy to the kids! Cole couldn't decide whether to wait around and see if there would be liver treats too or run for the hills as his hearing is better than ours. We ran!
More lights tomorrow, as I've gathered quite a collection to show you... but for now I'll end with Santa,

A shell of his former self. Gosh I hope this is only one of Santa's helpers and not the big guy! Looks like he missed the chimney and had a great fall.
One might think Rudolph would stick around to help... can't get good help these days

To funny! We walk by a rudolf a lot and summer is afraid of it :-)I love that snow globe idea in your last post! I should pin that to make next year. Great way to play with all those novelties in my stash. Thank you :-)

My favorite display ever was one that had an inflatable Santa and snowman. The snowman had a large candy cane in his hand, and Santa was having difficultly staying inflated. It looked like Frosty had attacked Santa. I'm sure it wasn't the intent, but the kids and I giggled every time we drove past.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Chardonnay in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO-HOO, what a ride!!"

ON POODLES

When asked “Why a Poodle?” the late Anne Rogers Clark (the first woman to win Best inShow at Westminster) often replied: “They are Labradors with college educations. Aftera day of retrieving, your Lab wants to curl up in front of the fireplace and take a welldeserved nap. A Poodle wants to be fourth at the bridge table and tell naughty stories!”
